How Host Container (Blade Enclosure) Life Cycle Patterns Can Help You

You can use host container (blade enclosure) life cycle patterns to:

  • Identify host containers (blade enclosures) that are exposed to security/stability risks as they are no longer supported by patch updates
  • Identify host containers (blade enclosures) that you may be paying a premium maintenance subscription for
  • Identify host containers (blade enclosures) that are no longer shipping so may increase costs and risks associated with variance

Product Life Cycle Terminology

The product life cycle dates include the following milestones that were made available and used by the vendor. Note some vendors use different terminology and definitions, in these cases, we have aligned to the closest matching definition.

  • End Of Life (EOL) - at this milestone, the vendor will stop shipping the particular model
  • End Of Support (EOS) - at this milestone, the vendor will stop providing patch updates for the particular model
  • End Of Extended Support (EOES) - at this milestone, the vendor will stop providing support for the particular model.

Note

The following table lists all the models we support. We can not guarantee to have EOL data for every single model as such data may not have been made available from the vendors. Where missing, we have provided a failure message as to the reason why.
